Be honest. Communication in a long distance relationship should be honest and truthful. Don’t be afraid to address issues in an effort to not rock the boat. Just be sure to say what is on your mind in a peaceful loving way. When and if it is time to end the relationship,, you should also be honest.

on 7/17/2008 I made this LDR survey/poll. It lets you compare your LDR with others. Includes questions about how many miles apart you are, phone calls, frequency of visits, and how many of us worry about our bf/gf cheating while we're away. Here's the link http://www.misterpoll.com/polls/347366
